Official Commodore website, revival or what...

Check out Commodore Amigo

Also the PC 64

Only in name I can't wait to see who claims the Amiga name since from what I read they do have rights now to use commodore name and chicken head Logo but I think that they think that includes the amiga name because they
put the amiga back on that picture..

I see they finally started giving credit to Marko for his fantasy Amiga case artwork instead of trying to pawn it off as their own

amiman99 · 29 August 2010, 07:15

The Invictus and Amigo do look pretty nice, if I did not have a Desktop PC, I would go for one of them.

I can't see the point of such threads to be honest. We all know that what made the Amiga great had nothing really to do with the Commodore name because it was the technology under the hood, but those heady days of big innovative hardware changes that made the Amiga so unique for that time are gone.

As ChrisUnionNJ stated, its only in name but now the name means absolutely nothing, zilch, nada... Game over man! Game over!

Paul_s · 29 August 2010, 15:42

seriously now, someone needs to put a stop to this bullshit. It's gone on long enough! Enough already

Introducing the Commodore Amigo

I'll have to get back to you on this as soon as I finish laughing. Don't wait up...

Only by the name is amiga back... "LOL"

Cloudane · 29 August 2010, 20:46

I saw somewhere that they're also putting a PC inside an actual oldschool C64 casing. More interested in if they did that with Amiga casing though!

Dunno. Commodore had the PET, VIC, C64 and Amiga. That's quite impressive. CBM surely did something right. (No matter where Amiga's technology came from.)

athiga · 29 August 2010, 22:53

yes you turn on the c 64 bitter and you get the familiar blue screen

then you type LOAD $ 8,1 WINDOWS and after a few colour bars the windows login apears

jokin apart its quite possible they might do a A1200 vers i think they overcome the cpu
cooling problem with a large copper block and fans at rear i want that one

What i meant by that was that Commodore simply bought the Amiga but didn't initially develop it and that it was the innovative technology in the Amiga that made it incredibly special for that time. That is by no means a stab at Commodore because the C64 for me was beautiful, wonderful, it was everything for me back then!!!!

Agreed Paul_s!!!!! I myself held hope for the Amiga from the time Commodore went bankrupt until the year 2000 but enough was enough back then!! let alone NOW! The Commodore Amiga is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD!!! Its will NEVER come back! I love the Amiga, but this is not a fantasy world where the underdog gets inside the Delorean, goes back in time and changes the future of Commodore and subsequently the Amiga, this is REALITY!, it is DEAD!

Zetr0 · 30 August 2010, 02:01

this site >http://www.commodoreusa.net/home.html< is utter bollox!

I suspect that if marko hirv found out his fantasy Amiga image was being used to sell commodore branded - generic wintel zero-foot-print PCs he would be NONE TO HAPPY.

not to mention a few of the pictures used are not of any system for sale, just someones Hack@Home devices

ChrisUnionNJ · 30 August 2010, 04:24

Nope I saw that same pic thursday no amiga on it then read a press release
that they got rights to use commodore name and chicken head
and then on friday it's back at least he put the artist name back on it..

Chris

athiga · 30 August 2010, 06:52

there is alot of action on the aros exec board
in the comodore usa thread

http://aros-exec.org/modules/newbb/v...flat&order=ASC

they just walk in and take whats on the table and use it
there is no machine available to test how compatable it is with aros

ill belive it when some one gets a review machine

TCD · 30 August 2010, 08:52

I wait for Bill Ewan to sue them

A poll about who thinks they really give a shit about 'Commodore', 'C64', or 'Amiga' and not just try to cash out on the names would be interesting...

athiga · 30 August 2010, 12:24

they are being careful they have the rights to commodore not amiga
so maybe the c64 case wouldnt be upseting anyone
my guess is they will supply it with win7 and then let the user install aros

interestin thing is whats the dimentions of the board
will it fit my old 1200 empty case ? id like that more than a huge a2000 with a pc board

this is from the comodore usa webb page

Extensible Firmware Interface is a revolutionary standard to manage the booting process of next-generation PCs in a modular, interactive way.
EFI standards allow the user to boot multiple operating systems, with a fully graphical interface and instant recognition of the peripherals.
This feature requires the purchase and installation of a small, internally mounted module, supplied by others, that connects to an available motherboard USB header socket

athiga · 30 August 2010, 12:48

amiga 1200 Dimensions: 490 x 250 x 70 (W x D x H)
